Only got $65 million from 2020 to 2022...
By comparison, Joe Burrow is getting $146 million from 2023 to 2025 even though he still had 2 cheap years left on the rookie deal. He squeezed them for top dollar on the front end of his contract. He could have gone a bit easier on them to help the front office. Throw in JaMarr Chase demanding $40M per year from the front office, and it's understandable they they are having a tough time on the defensive side of the ball.
